Warung Soho @ Plaza Damas, Sri Hartamas

I must confess that Malay cuisine is not in my list of favourite food but there is always exception like THIS and this humble stall which I’m going to share with you today.

Warung Soho is a small stall nestled in Plaza Damas which serves traditional Kelantanese food.

The simple al-fresco seating at Warung Soho. We were there on A Saturday for late lunch hence the place was quite vacant. I understand that the lunch crowd can be quite massive during weekdays.

Ayam Soho

Deep fried small chunks of chicken marinated turmeric and other spices, one of the essential condiments for their signature Nasi Soho. They were quite flavouful from the marinade and nicely cooked to a nice texture.

Ayam Kampung

The fried chicken tasted exactly like what it looked like, very dry on the texture which very common for Malay style fried chicken. The marinade although was quite minimal but the flavor was good.

Served in a rattan tray lined with banana leaf, the Nasi Soho comprised of steamed white rice bathed with generous amount of gulai gravy, pile of Ayam Soho, sliced cucumber and dollop of sambal. A failproof combination I would say and the sambal is the bomb! We add on a hard boiled egg for a more wholesome meal.

Besides Nasi Soho, they also have Nasi Dagang, Nasi Kerabu and other dishes which I believe are rotated daily.

Verdict: I never taste the local Kelantanese food but my meal at Warung Soho was rather satisfying and the affordable price certainly one of the factor I’ll make a revisit.

Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur.

Park at basement of Plaza Damas and look for pillar K10 (block B). Take the stairs up and Warung Soho is not far away from the exit.

I happen to love Malay food too. This Nasi Soho looks very much similar to Nasi Kak Wok (or even Nasi Ayam Goreng Kunyit)…there’s always a curry and a sambal. I wonder if they’re actually the same but just go by different names.
